Episode: The Out of Towners
The book detailed Kennedy's independent investigation into the Martha Moxley murder, presenting new theories and evidence that he believed exonerated Michael Skakel.
In fact, he doubled down, continuing to investigate on his own, making media rounds, and ultimately publishing a book about it all. The one I helped him write, entitled Framed. After it came out, he repeated his convictions about the case in an interview with Dateline.
When I was helping him put together his book in 2015, we talked several times a week, often several times a day. I wouldn't consider Bobby a friend, but we did some stuff friends would do. He drove me around Southern California in his seriously beat up minivan.
Bobby called the chapter about the New York guys, the killers. He echoed Mark Furman's earlier play to pressure the state into action, writing, using the evidence I have cited in this book, prosecutors have sufficient cause to indict Burton Tinsley and Adolph Hasbrook for Martha Moxley's murder.
In 2015, as we were writing the book, Bobby and I tried to get in touch with Tony Bryant. Not long after those cameras showed up at his house in 2003, Bryant had seemingly vanished into thin air.
He doubled down, continuing to investigate on his own, making media rounds, and ultimately publishing a book about it all. The one I helped him write, entitled Framed.
